Posts: 451Your answer is in the question you asked. It depends on how professional you want or mean. Most design companies have staff that can do digital manipulation at a price. They also do design and output for old and new print / digital mediums.
Print / copy shops can also do digital manipulations but they don't want to spend too much time. They are cheaper than the design companies but want to quickly knock things out.
Smaller photo shops that used to print out photos and passport photos have the basic setup to do the stuff. It depends on how good the guy is behind the counter. In the past, purchasing some extra service or prints would be enough for the guy to do a quick 15 minute touch up.
Photoshop has a learning curve. There are apps with AI for mobile devices that do a pretty good for almost no cost.

Posts: 1056Photoshop Query
I need some Photoshop work for posters. Basically they are pictures of adult models, no private parts or copulation shown but I need the end result to be spicy and catchy and to have the artist's eye, something I am totally devoid of. Naughty but not X grade of maybe the standard of fiverr. I have seen lots of small Pinoy businesses doing such things but any time I have given memory sticks etc to such concerns, they have come back with multiple viruses as Pinoys seem to be a mixture of hopelessly bad and hopefully good. That said, from the little I've seen, they do seem to be good at knocking up fake IDs etc which are of no interest to me. Because of the sensitive X rateish nature of the work, I would prefer to deal in person than work through the likes of fiverr. Has anyone had any experience of such companies where you can walk in, discuss the project, give a legit order and get a reasonable job done?

Posts: 1056Turkey Giving Christmas Advice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXZCDIJQpK4
Here is a nice American giving advice on living in the Philippines. He forgets the cost of his lady friend who nods away during the video. He also mentions buying a house. In her name I am sure they are both nice people and a nice couple but she probably figures she struck a very good deal, a constant cash flow. If he can afford it, well and good. He ladles his expenses in US $, instead of pesos. He talks about training regimes but she probably knows about that. He reckons $840,44,000 PHP a month, plus start up costs.
When the lady is asked to give her take, she goes on abut her schooling (but does not mention who is paying for it). Some informative comments, for and against.

Posts: 24Age of Consent vs Age of Majority
=============================================
Greetings Gentlemen,
The Age of Consent is the age in which girls can participate in consensual, non-commercial sex with their teen-age boyfriend without said teen-age boyfriend being charged with statutory rape.
However, the Age of Consent is irrelevant to the members of this forum.
What you need to focus on is the Age of Majority, which among other things is the age in which they can vote, get married, enlist in the military, and participate in commercial sex activities.
Please exercise caution and govern yourself accordingly.
Thanks,
Jackson

Posts: 451I am not Dutch nor a member of the tribe but I think the same way. The method and route make a big difference in the final cash / value amount the receiving end gets. The bigger parties on the receiving end would sometimes have a department to guide the givers. If you are US based, how and what you give can end up looking the same on the receiving end but costs you net over 25% less.
I usually send gift boxes from the US to the PI because the cheaper forwarding companies and the price differential between Costco and retail in PI. That might change in the near future. Material goods are not as appreciated but one can then control how the funds are spent.

I sent a couple of girls money too. It felt good at first, but it is not the solution to any problem. Pinays have no concept of savings, budgeting or a long term view. The hooking class we mix with or the desperate gold diggers on Tinder we come across are all poor candidates to help.
A chick I sent money to help with the rent spent it all on Christmas presents and didn't have enough for the bus fare to go home for NYE. She was expecting to get a few clients into her massage parlor, but heavy rain in Manila did not encourage foot traffic. Last I heard she was desperately looking for 150 pesos. Snip went the Whatsapp connection.
Another lady I sent money to spent it all in a day. She then asked for more money for blood pressure reduction tablets. She was about to have a preemployment medical and was worried about her elevated blood pressure. Snip went the Whatsapp connection.
Don't go looking for gratitude. Their view is that the foreigner is rich so he can pay.
